The Arthur H. Rosen Sino-Judaic Memorial Fund was created to honor the life and legacy of its first Chairman, longtime Board member, and President Emeritus of the National Committee on US-China Relations.    

In honor of Art's dedication to SJI, the Fund will:

• Offer grants for academic and creative projects related to the Jewish experience in China
• Provide opportunities for Chinese students and scholars to participate in conferences and do academic research
• Fund the translation of relevant Judaic-related texts and educational material into Chinese
• Support the development and strengthening of Judaic Studies programs in China

Please join us in commemorating Art’s life and keeping his legacy alive by donating to the new Arthur H. Rosen Sino-Judaic Memorial Fund. All contributions are tax-deductible, and include a one-year membership in the Institute.  

TRIBUTES TO ART 

Thank you for establishing this Fund in honor of Art Rosen, with whom I worked from 1974 to 1983 when he was President of the National Committee on US-China Relations. Art held many major roles in his life. Father, diplomat, and devoted follower of the Jewish faith. As my boss, he was both a master of high level strategy and a manager of nitty gritty operational details.  Most of all, his limitless capacity for seeing the bright side of life made him an absolute pleasure to work with. He taught me how to handle complicated situations with a soft voice and a smile. I loved the man.  Or should I say mensch? Art always got a kick out of showing this gentile from Kansas how Judaism works and how useful it is in daily life. Thank you for letting me be part of his permanent fan club.
